‘When we support local farmers, we’re not just buying food; we’re investing in our community’s future’ – Joel Salatin, US farmer, lecturer & author
Transition Woodbridge welcomes some of our area’s finest food and drink producers to our Harvest Fair on Saturday 14th September, 10am-4pm at Woodbridge Community Hall. Guests in the Main Hall include Hullabaloo Bakery, High House Fruit Farm, Oak Tree Community Farm, Woodbridge Tide Mill, Oakdene Honey, Anglian Organics, Sandlings Saffron, Woodbridge Country Market and Truly Unique Pasta. This is a wonderful opportunity to buy genuinely local produce, support Suffolk businesses and meet the people behind the products. Come and find out about heritage apple varieties, bee keeping, community supported agriculture, and much more!
Meanwhile, the Hall Annexe hosts an exciting programme of talks and short films specifically aimed at teenagers and young adults. Local student and environmental activist James presents Our Beautiful Wild, an inspiring film about young people and the natural world. We’ll also be hearing from members of Suffolk Young Farmers, Deben Estuary Partnership, Suffolk Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group, and Woodbridge Youth Council.
Back in the Main Hall, you’ll find delicious refreshments courtesy of Woodbridge Country Market, bird walks to the river with Suffolk Bird Group (at 10.30am and 1.30pm), and children’s activities including our brand new Eco-Woodbridge board game – all gently soundtracked by Jan Pulsford’s ambient music.
The event is free, accessible and open to all. We are grateful to Woodbridge Town Council and Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape for supporting this event.
